Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for PRESENTANDCOUNTING, who made it 2 from 2 in jumpers bumpers at Newcastle in January and remains the type to do better still now back hurdling. Skatman, an expensive purchase from the Irish point scene, is the obvious threat making his hurdling debut after a wind operation.
